32. Vaping Myths & Facts Part 2

We are back for Part 2 with Selena Morresi from Caron Treatment Centers to talk about vaping! In this episode we are exploring the link between vaping and using other substances (including cocaine…what?!), the clever marketing of vape products, and the risks with vaping THC and marijuana. Selena also shares how cessation programs are a great support to youth that want to quit vaping, which led us to discuss the need for empathy and compassion for kids that find themselves newly dependent on nicotine and having a hard time not using. This conversation is packed with new information and tips parents, and anyone working with youth, can use right away. Join us!
